90% Copper 10% Tin Bronze source?

Hey all,

I'm trying to get ahold of straight 90/10 CuSn Bronze for some bronze age tools and experiments. C90700 Phosphur Bronze is about as close as I can come to it with a commercially available product.

Ceramic Shell Casting for Jewelry

Casting | Jewelry | | |

Greetings - Has anyone here adapted ceramic shell casting to a jewelry casting environment? If so I would like to try it in lieu of investment casting. I would appreciate it if someone knowledgeable could share the formula for the ceramic slurry and the process for building up the shell/mold.
